Our students had a fantastic opportunity to hear from Macquarie University Lecturer in Criminology, Dr Vincent Hurley today as part of our series of lunchtime pathways talks known as The Feed. Vince generously shared his time to talk with students about what is involved in the study of Criminology, and what types of careers exist in this exciting field. He also answered specific questions about university, policing and study options. Thanks so much Vince for giving up your time and sharing your expertise with our future criminologists, lawyers and police officers! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

The students' confidence, clarity, and conduct were outstanding and their debates were thoughtful and polished. Special congratulations to Year 7 Team 1 and Year 8 Team 1 on their wins! Best of luck to our teams as they prepare for Round 2. #StColumbasDebating #BlueMountainsDebating #StudentVoice #PublicSpeaking #TeamworkInAction

📚 BOOK AN ADVENTURE! 🌍✨ Students and staff at St Columba's recently immersed themselves in a week-long celebration dedicated to the joy of books and the power of reading. From daily treasure hunts and magical decorations (think Hogwarts, Middle Earth, Wonderland, Narnia, and more!) to a themed cake stall and picnic lunch boxes, every day was packed with literary fun. 🎂🗺️ To conclude the week students and staff came to school dressed as their favourite book characters. The college raised an incredible $1,646.10 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, with more to come from a second-hand book stall later this term. ❤️📚 Thank you to everyone who took part in the joy! #BookWeek #ReadingAdventure #StColumbasReads #IndigenousLiteracyFoundation #LiteraryMagic
